I'm making one of these doll cakes for my daughters bday this weekend. I have the wonder doll cake pan set. But my question is with the doll. DO I just insert the doll into the cake? OR do I need to remove the legs etc first?..... Any help or suggestions for this cake would very much appreciated. TIA

You can do it either way. There is a Dora the Explorer Doll cake in my gallery, I left her legs on and just put saran wrap around them. Depending on the Doll you use you may need to put an 8" round under your dress cake for additional height if the doll has longer legs.
